Face of the Past: The Preservation of the Medieval Inheritance in Victorian England
I loved the variety of works from the famous Bauhaus artist couple. Much more than paintings for Josef and wall-hangings for Anni.
It breaks into sections. One section reviews how the Albers' aesthetic dictated their home decor and overall lives. That section was a bit rough. Lots of adjectives without much holding it up . (Perhaps the author thought the proof was obvious from the visuals.) I enjoyed the overall information and room photos. The second section delved more into their background and early works. I really liked their important early works referenced in terms of their influences, colleagues, and each other. This section has some photos but relies mostly on the third section, a large group of plates (basically page after page of the artists works). It wasn't as fun to flip back and forth but I enjoyed the third section on its own. Just seeing Josef designed furniture, glassware, brickwork, Christmas cards, his own font! Anni's inclusions were a little less diverse...I thought they should have included some of her painting/prints...but it was fun to see her jewelry and read some of the more technical aspects of her fiber constructs.
In general, a short overview of the artist couple including many of their major works and a summary of their lives as Bauhaus designers.
